I've noticed that while using light applications like Discord, Spotify, and Chrome, everything seems to run smoothly. However, when I click on a tab or window to scroll or move it, that specific application becomes choppy for a moment or loses its FPS before returning to normal. This odd behavior happens randomly across different apps. I've kept an eye on my system using HWiNFO, and during these moments, my CPU, GPU, and RAM don't show any unusual spikes. I'm using two 144Hz monitors—one 1440p and one 1080p—and it seems like the issues are more common when I interact with the app on the 1080p monitor, though I'm unsure if that's related. I'm at a bit of a loss on how to troubleshoot this problem. Any advice or insights would be really helpful!

This sounds like it could be a driver issue, which might be causing delays when you're switching tabs. It's worth checking if you have the latest graphics drivers installed. Sometimes outdated drivers can create performance hiccups, especially when handling multiple monitors.
I've done a hardware check, including the CPU and GPU, and everything passed. What specific driver issues should I look into?
